Windows 7: After sleep, hangs for a while

OK, will now try WDO as I saved it on USB. Did sfc/scannow and it was clean. Have Malawarebytes and Superantispyware; both were clean.
Later, I'll go to the security forum as per DavidW7ncus' suggestion.
Thanks for the advice.

From a clean computer, you download WDO and run it. The instructions walk you thru the steps to create a USB flash drive that you can boot from. (It will format the USB drive - so get any files off first.)

You could change the BIOS to move the USB ports higher in the boot order than the internal hard disk drive or you could tap F12 while booting to get to get to the boot menu - from there, you should be able to select the USB flash drive.
